I am currently 2 Days Post Op and will hopefully get the opportunity to share a couple of pictures with this forum when time permits. After almost a year of extensive research and consideration I took the leap an went with Dr. Diep and his staff. They have been really patient with me and the procedure has taken place and gone through beyond my wildest dreams. I am ecstatic about the whole process and my results look promising thus far even though it has only been a couple of days. There was Literally no pain involved and I was up and about the same day after the procedure. I had a huge mega session conducted and was given Full attention by the complete staff at this clinic. Dr. Diep is kind hearted, honest, professional, and among the top providers in hair restoration without any reservation in the world! The nurses at the clinic worked diligently. I will update more later and would also at this time like to thank everyone else on this forum for being there for me and sharing there personal experiences either through PM and on the open floor. There is so much to say that words could not describe I am very grateful and extremely happy.

where were the donor hair from?

I had the FUT method ( Follicular Unit Transection ) aka the strip method so basically the hair was imported from the back and sides of my head via a single strip of hair. I was concerned as anyone would be about the outcome however my scar is nearly invisible and has not caused me any issues. This doctor uses the latest trychophitic closure technique and is really good at it.

Looks like a long day! Did the surgeon staple your trychophitic closure? I'm sure it's going to look great once it's all grown in

What did the doctor tell you about the ridge? Will it go away? He recommended I do
an fut but idk still undecided about the scar.
Regarding FUT, yeah, you have to do research on it to decide. It depends on whether you like to keep your hair really short, how many grafts you expect to need over a lifetime, etc.
It's gonna be up to you just out it like this if you need for example 5000 grafts.....if you do FUE with no linear scar your looking at almost double the cost, two procedures, and double the length of time for results...you do get a better harvest outcome ratio via strip but it does leave a scar man because after cutting my hair I see it now and it's not pretty but oh well better then being Bald haha...
Have you tried any scar creams I started using a cream called healing touch I hope it works a little it's kinda expensive but supposed to help with surgical scars etc...
